I heard on the radio this morning that the NSW media are using footage of Walsh being knocked out as part of their advertising campaign for the game tonight?

I thought it was the NRL itself? There was an article about the QRL lodging a complaint or something a couple days back.

Had a moron at work during lunch crap on about how Walsh was faking the whole thing and he was faking the convulsing. I bluntly told him if he was he deserves an academy award and offered him the opportunity to come over and watch videos my family have made of myself having seizures and the convulsing involved and tell my family and myself his thoughts. He shut up quickly.

If there's a First Commandment in RL, it's probably this:
1. The side with the superior forward pack wins.
The second would be rather like unto it:
2. Speed kills.
The way I see it, QLD have an unusual speed advantage (not suggesting for a moment that NSW is at all pedestrian); if QLD get 50% possession and DCE/Tommy can get their speed men set up ... well ... it could be one long night for NSW.
Somehow NSW will need at least 60% possession to stay in the game and play their best.
Is it just my corrupt imagination or is there the vaguest of hints of a Ch 9 / NSWRL / ARL wink-and-nudge "desire" for a Suncorp decider (see: 6-agains and penalties) ?

Only have to look at how Klown officiated Game 2 last year... he managed to give NSW a 10-3 advantage in penalties and six agains and yet they still lost 32-6 !!
One of the highlights was Martin blatantly tackling Reece in the air (... seems to be a common theme with him)... only for Reece to not be held and then return it 50m the other way.
I would be expecting a similar level of #GameManagement from the man with the whistle

100%. It won't be as blatant as it would if the decider was in Sydney - I mean, Suncorp will sell out either way, let's be honest - but for TV views, another Queensland series win won't be the desired outcome, not tonight anyway...

This lead up and spice from nsw media and talking heads is only going to help QLD. NSW is always going to be the more desperate team so the extra barbs is actually going to have qld more focused and trying to stick it up em. It's usually hard to fight human nature when you know you have a game in your back pocket. They would have been better off staying quiet and just going the quiet ambush but they have run their mouth and I expect that makes QLD a little hungrier.

For those who don't go back to the 70's and 80's (i.e. before tackle-in-the-air was deemed illegal), I'll posit a thought experiment to imagine what it was like for back threes in general and for fullbacks in particular (think: predatory backrowers charging in and leaping aggressively up and at you, timed with the arrival of the ball).
